The World Scout Jamboree (WSJ) is a global gathering of Scouts and Guides from every corner of the world.
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for young people to join thousands of others from around the world to build international friendships, discover new cultures, take part in an inspiring programme of activities and cultural exchange and create unforgettable memories!
The 26th World Scout Jamboree will take place from the 30 July to the 8 August 2027 and will be hosted in Gdańsk, Poland.
We’re looking for Scouts and Explorer Scouts to represent Northumberland Scouts at the next World Scout Jamboree.

How to register your interest
If you’re a Scout or Explorer Scout in Northumberland Scouts and you are interested in attending the Jamboree, you should complete our registration form before the closing date of 5 November 2025.
Scouts and Explorers should check with parents/carers before completing this form and should also seek assistance if needed.

In the form we ask for a little bit more information about you. We’d like you to pick one (or more!) of these questions to answer and you can answer either by video or as a written answer – whichever you find more comfortable:
- Why do you want to go to the World Scout Jamboree?
- What do you think you’ll bring to the Unit?
